In neuroimaging displays of neurons, where electrical signals are on motion across axons towards synapses, what is also obvious?
One direct observation is that there is light—traveling, which then terminates at junctions, and the light expands [or sort of explodes] at those junctions.
This could mean that light is interacting with matter. This interaction, though may not be extricated by neuroimaging, is likely varied across clusters [of neurons].
In neuroscience, it is established that electrical signals trigger the release of neurotransmitters.
It is theorized here that electrical signals are interacting with chemical signals,with an almost ready configuration, that becomes complete, after the interaction.
This means that functions are obtained, conceptually, when electrical signals interact with chemical signals.
Electrical and chemical signals are often in sets or loops, conceptually, in clusters of neurons.
It is in these sets that they interact, and provide specific configurations for functions, respectively.
This means a smell from another smell, or a taste from another taste or a touch from a sight and so forth.
Also, in sets, there are states that electrical signals have in the instances of the interactions.
It is in these states that they interact, defining the extent to those interactions.
Electrical signals are traveling and getting terminated at junctions, in what appears to be a brief interactive build [or construction], such that they arrive with [summaries of] configurations and may depart with another.
Simply, to interpret a function, electrical signals from another setoften bear an inbound arrangement, but they would have to interact elsewhere, [or where they would fit, determined by the attributes] to state that it is a specific function or experience and so forth.
It is how they mechanize interpretations. They bear the formation [or configuration] for memory, emotions, feelings and regulation of internal senses, with all these subdivisions of these major categories.
The states [or attributes] of the signals at the time of the interactions are also what defines the extents to which they interact. Attributes include attention, subjectivity, intent and awareness.
This defines the human mind and human consciousness, using neuroimaging, conceptually.
Simply, what neuroimaging shows is that electrical signals are interacting with chemical signals. They do so to build or construct the configurations for specific functions. This can be described as the theoretical basis of consciousness and how the brain works.
There are intensity and splits of electrical signals. There are arrays of some sets, too, such that after interactions, there is displacement [mildly angular], conceptually, of the sets, which then becomes a position [or rank into an array] of all signals.
Arrays are important in interchanges between a prioritized set from several pre-prioritized sets. It also determines other states of consciousness and so forth.
For sleep, for example, there is an intensity of electrical signals on some chemical signals in sets, which is lower for those interpreting external sensory inputs, and then higher for those of internal sensory inputs.
For chemical signals in sets, attributes include volume, thick sets, thin sets, and so forth.
It is often said that no one knows how the brain works, but it is known that neurons are involved in all functions.
But neurons are never functionalwithout electrical and chemical signals. So, a theory of consciousness or of the human brain could be established, on the basis of electrical and chemical signals, in line with all the evidence in neuroscience, globally.
If no one knows how the brain works, the question is that what can neuroscience use now, to explain mental disorders, brain states and disorders, human intelligence,consciousness, position AI safety and so forth
Neuroscience has had a century of neurons. Procession is towards electrical and chemical signals. No other components are as dominant and flexible as both in responsibility for functions. They can also not be ruled out in functions, at least with current evidence.
This neuroimaging theory places an explanation with interactions and attributes, determining the overall mechanics of brain functions.
There is a recent May 22, 2025 story on Reuters, Sanofi to acquire Vigil Neuroscience in $470 million deal to boost neurological pipeline, stating that "Sanofi, will acquire Vigil Neuroscience, a clinical-stage biotech company in a $470 million deal, the companies said on Thursday, as the French drugmaker seeks to boost its neurological pipeline through an Alzheimer's drug. The acquisition would give Sanofi, one of the world's largest vaccine makers, control over Vigil's VG-3927, an oral drug being prepared for a potential treatment in Alzheimer's.In June 2024, Sanofi made a $40 million equity investment in Vigil, which included an exclusive negotiation right for the drug.Vigil's monoclonal antibody program, VGL101, would not be acquired by Sanofi and would return to U.S. drugmaker Amgen, Vigil said."
